Ever since Dorothy Zimmerman graduated from RHS in 1923 as the first ever senior band member, the band has held an important place at the high school and has brought pride and recognition to the Village of Ridgewood. To properly celebrate this momentous occasion, the RHS Band Program is beginning to plan several events that will take place from July 2022 through June 2023, and we feel strongly that our alumni should be included.

RHS Alumni association to strengthen tradition

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
The Ridgewood community is pioneering a path to help support the district’s high school through an alumni association.
Last month, the ad-hoc group formalized itself by electing four officers and creating a board of trustees.
Their first official meeting on Sept. 30 was followed days later, on Oct. 2, with a dinner for alumni at Novo Restaurant.
Thomas Gorman, principal of RHS and a Class of ’87 graduate, said more than a dozen people attended the Sept. 30 meeting where Keith Dawkins was elected president, Jacqueline Hennessey (Class of ’87) was elected vice president, Steven Correll (Class of ’88) was elected treasurer, and Siobhan Winograd (Class of ’91) was elected secretary.
“On some level it was kind of a no-brainer for me [to be involved] in that I’m a RHS alum, my boys – I have an eighth-grader and a fifth-grader – will be RHS alum,” Dawkins said. “The school did a lot for me, and it’s going to do a lot for them.”
Dawkins said he envisions the association being a “powerful network that gives back into the Ridgewood ecosystem,” but short-term he’s excited about the “passion and enthusiasm” from the community.
“[Superintendent] Dr. [Daniel] Fishbein got an email from an alumnus who lives in China and he wants to not be left out,” Gorman said. “It’s growing. A lot of people who couldn’t make it [to the meeting] said, ‘I want to be involved. Get my name on the list’.”
